"The Underlings" Watercolor on Arches CP paper. 18 X 22

I had this idea to paint white crows with a mainly blue background and this is what I ended up with. It just began to take on a life of it's own with little people underneath the surface there.
I quite enjoyed drawing this one and found it to be a brand new direction once done. I've now plans to do larger pieces along the same theme using acrylics or mixed media. Or maybe even a canvas! That would be a new beginning as well! I've done some oil painting in the past but not for a long time now. It is quite exciting to step out of the old comfort zone and i have to say the studio is now a happier place. We had an opening tonight at the gallery and although folks are still there mingling i had to escape to the nearest MacDonalds with a Rolo McFlurry and my lap top.
The smoosching part of this business is hard for me. Wish it were not so but i'd rather make the paintings and let them speak for themselves. God bless you all and i pray you have a peaceful and blessed evening. I think i may head home now. Goodnight!

About Me

I am fortunate to have a permanent studio space in an art gallery where i can spend time at my life long dream of being an artist. I am motivated mostly by strong patterns and value conrast. I love to play with color and explore the relationships they have. I pray to honor God with my paintings and hope you enjoy your visit. My email address is: rosslynem@gmail.com

The Pauloman!

This is the Pauloman who is no longer with us. He lost a tough battle on Feb.17, 2013. We loved this little guy so much and miss him dearly. He was such a character and enjoyed sitting on the couch with us watching a movie and sharing our treats. An amazing dog he was and a more loyal fellow you would be hard pressed to find.

My Bella.

This is our other boxer, Bella. She is a sweet girl who is also very intuitive. If someone is sick she knows and will try to care for them. She is also afraid of snowmen, hot air balloons and road construction beacons. She loves to cuddle and can sing her heart out when she hears Willie Nelson or any harmonica music. She makes our lives richer and we love her to pieces.

"Jiminy"

Jiminy was a rescue dog who came to us terribly underweight and malnourished. He is now a handsome and energetic little clown who makes us laugh all day long. In a very short time he has stolen our hearts.
